Tip: you can use the WhatsApp web site for text messaging (I don’t think it works for audio/video?) and if you want to use it in a standalone window you can “install” it as a web app (in most browsers). It’ll use way less RAM running in your existing browser than running a separate electron instance.

it does

Since when? Because last I used it Video and Audio calls required their native app (their excuse was their encryption couldn’t run on the website)
I thought you meant attachments
